Newk brooded for a day, apologized and came back with blood in his eye. Out of his Nashua experience, Dodger Manager "Smokey" Alston had obviously fashioned the right formula for handling his hot righthander.

At the first spring training, he arrived in a squeal of brakes, driving his bus, hopped out, donned a uniform and joined the practice. But now Busch spends much less time with his disappointing team. Last year the Cardinals finished sixth; this year they are fighting to keep out of seventh place.
